Its been awhile since we’ve done any AK stuff, but consider this the first in a series for you AK freaks.
The guys from Echo Nine Three got ahold of us awhile back to let us know about their AK sling mounts. Starting out with the “V1”, this ambi-sling mount is heavy duty parkerized steel, nicely machined, easy to install, and only $19.95.
The ambi-loop coming off the rear from under the pistol grip works nicely for either single point, or two point slings. The loop does not get in the way of the firing hand, and has no sharp edges. This isn’t some cheap stamped part, its probably the nicest machined part that some of my AKs have ever seen, and certainly nicer than the OEM “machine work”.
Installation is super simple, and even if you have no or low skills you can probably handle this. However, we’ll point out that neither Gear Scout nor Echo Nine Three is responsible for a users lack of ability with a weapon. Under the AK pistol grip is a slotted screw, unscrew the screw and grip comes off. Inside the receiver is a female piece which the screws threads in to, this piece may move around, so you might have to pop the dustcover off the AK to keep it in place. With the grip off, put the Echo Nine Three mount under the grip, place the grip back into position, then tighten the screw back into place.
